FARM NOTES.

WITH the advent OF spring begins
The work in the garden and the supply
OF vegetables and luxuIies depend,
upon the fertility of tie soil and the care
bestowed. some plants are hardy and
may be put out early, but nothing Is
gained by haste in attempting to force
plants that delight in warmth unless
the forcing process be attempted under
favorable conditions. 1t must be kept
In view that frosts may come at any
time, even as late as June, and 1t is not
safe to put out large crops Of tender
vegetables before the middle of May.
Onions, lettuce, kale, radishes, spinach,
peas. early cabbage and early potatoes
may take the risk of injury from frost
as soon as the ground shall be warm
enough to terminate the seed. The
onion crop Is n that should always
90 10 early, as it thriyes best when the
season Is moi too warm, and not only
endures quite 81 severe frost, but the
crop keeps well In winter also. Moth
ing can be gained by transplanting egg
plants, tomato plants or melons before
warm weather, as any slight check
given them will be materially felt dur
ing the whole growing season. The
dwarf peas are best for an early supply,
and require no support to hold the
vines of the ground; but they do not
compare with the taller kinds in flavor
or In quality. Early beets, carrots aud
parsnips can be put In as soon as the
ground shall be in proper condition.
Asparagus is usually the first vegetable
of the season, but Il cannot be secured
until a well-grown and permanent bed
shall have been established. Lima
beans, sugar corn, beans, melons, tur-
nips, squash and elephants may be
classed as summer crops, as they are
not planted until the ground is well
warmed and all danger from frost Is
over. What Is mostly required for a
garden Is a fine soil, not simply that
which is plowed or spaded, but one
which is Gather narrowed or raked
until not a clod can be seen, and the
deeper the fine soil the better. In
using manure that which is thoroughly
decomposed is best, but experienced
gardeners make use of well .rotted COM
post, assisted by super-phosphate lone
bag to a garden ~one-forth of all acre
in ~extent), and the rows are so LAID off
as to permit of the crops being easily
worked by one.horse cultivator; but il
the hoe be used in preference the rows
may be closer together. All young
vegetables are easily smothered or STAR
we'd by grass and weeds, and for that
reason the garden must be kept very
clean and well cultivated. Weeds
must not only be kept down but kept
out, destroying them as soon as they
shove their tops out Of the ground; the
same may be said of grass. By 80 do
ing much labor will be saved later In
the season.

Two Husbands Claiming a Wife,S Es.

CURIOUS CASE BEFORE VIRGINIA COURT.
case was practically decided in the Circuit
Court at Lynchburg, Va, yesterday, which proba-
bly, has no parallel In Virginia Jurisprudence. The
facts are briefly as follows: In 1S4a, James Dolan
proprietor OF the Rose Cottage nursery died. leay-
ing widow, who subsequently married James Nc
Gowan, who was for many years one OF Lynch
DurgS most prominent and highly-rpsDected citi-
ZenS. Nj. Dolan left daughter, who married III.
+ smith, who after some time deserted her, leay-
Ing an infant child. Mrs. Smith removed to New
YORK and alter seven years had elapsed during
which time she had not seen her husband, she had
that he was dead, and accordingly married man
named Richard Dorney. MIS-. MCGOWAN. the
mother OF Mrs. Dorney, died, leaving her hus-
band In charge OF the property without having
made any arrangements Tor Its division
among her heirs. Her husband subsequently died,
and now the anomaly is presented OF two hus-
bands claiming one wife and all the property She
1nher1tS from her parents; for no sooner was Mr..
McGOwan'S death announced than Smith put in
his appearance and claimed his wife and the shar,
or the property, though he had not been preyi-
ouSly heard from Tor more than seven years. Mr..
Dorney, considering himself the legal husband OF
the lady, resisted the claim OF Smith, and upon the
issue the case came up for trial before the Circuit
Court. The decision was practically that smith
by his deSert1On OF his wife was entitled to any
share In the valuable property involved, and that
the marriage to DOrney In New York is valid.
After this decision the plaintiff submitted TO q
non-Sutt and II Is impossible now TO say whether
or not the case is ended. 1t may be revived and
the litigation indefinitely continued.

JAY GOULD As A WITNESS.
Continuation Of His Interesting St0r!
OF Pacific Railroad EinanCicrin..

Continuing his testimony before the Pacific
Railroad Investigators, in New York, yesterday
afternoon, JAY Gould gave 4 long account OF the
history OF the consolidated mortgage. az got
word that the Amsterdam people would sell cut
their interests In the Denver Pacific, but | had
read Irving's 'knickerbockers History OF New
York, and was afraid that they would spend day
in smoking before they made up their mind to
sell; but ] finally mustered up courage 10 go To
Amsterdam. 1 reached there at 10 am. and was
called on by the parties at III am. and bought
and paid for 100000 OF bonds at IL O'Clock.
sold stock and bonds to Sage, Dillon and AmeS at
the same price at which l bought then. sold a
few shares In the market. They had become gilt
edged, and 1 probably parted with them u pay
hotel bills. This statement MAS accompanied
Mr.. Gould then told OF his transactions in Union
Pacific In 1879 and 1850. In the latter year none
OF the stock stood In his name, because h. was
afraid OF It's being attached. After the con>aida-
ton II was retransferred 10 him. In lH19 he
bought the Missouri Pacific and his Interests We're
then averSe to consolidation.
Il had no talk I'm reference to the matter with
Sage, Dillon Dexter, Ames, or Others, save that I
offered them my check Tor 81 GOA O)G il Tie would
not ask me TO consent To this consolidation. They
kept me In my Office until siyne,! paper agree
ing TO carry the consolidation. prcsJine this pa
per Is now in Boston signed IL after 1 resigned
as director.
1.-THE consolidation was an assured fact January
ta 1850 for signed the paper referred to on that
Pacific. Ii WAS desirable 10 effect the consolida-
lion 10 put in Denver Pacific stock OF which held
$1,000, 900 worth which had bought at 10 cents.
As trustee, held y, $50 Shares, and 1 told MIR.
holmes Il ne could get an order or the court re.eas-
Ing II we would put 1t in 1t more than IL was
Eorth-that l., at 100000. remember this par
ticularly, as 1 sold 100000 worth at 10 and
shortly after bought IL back II par The trustees
would have got nothing II this StOCi, had not been
released for the bonds would have bean forccloscd
and the stock could not have gOn" into the conso-
dalton; What did In the matter Was the best
possible thing for the trust. And ain willinI TO
stand by my action. The parties having c.arse OF
the consolidation agreed TO give s.JU0.uUo Tor this
trust stock and bur Tor this arrangement nothing
could have been done toward paving OF the mort
gage. Whatever the coiSniid.f.i company put its
seal 10 had an immediate y.iIur. And though it
was not obliged TO accept this Denver Paci.. sjoc
we arranged that IL should, and we thus did our
duty by our trust"
In answer to commissioner AnderSon's searching
questions regarding the handling OF the Denver
Paclnc STOCK In trust, Mr. Gould replied vigorously
and geSticulated Violently. He seemed greatly in
censed at The lmputatlon OF dlShonorabie deal
between MI. Sage and himself In reference to this
trust.

still has the habit OF stepping back from the plate

was a hard hitter before he became confirmed
